Thursday 25 October 2018 16:38
History was made on 21st October 2018 as SIX joined SHAPE APAC 2018: Green Evolution and Sustainable Lifestyle by Global Shapers Bangkok to introduce Last of Ours, a project aimed at creating social value through crypto-collectibles that would each represent threatened animals. This event facilitated the first live event adoption of SIX then.

SIX network and Global Shapers share the similar goals in addressing global challenges. With technology and people, we are crafting and designing the future of society through our networks around the world.

Global Shapers is an initiative of the World Economic Forum, and SHAPE is a regional conference held annually to bring together some of future leaders from diverse industries around the world. With more than 7,000 members, the Global Shapers Community spans 378 city-based hubs in 170 countries.

The morning of the event, SIX had the opportunity to host inspirational talk sessions. Watcharapong Photaneenon, Operation lead explained the origin of the company and how the meaningful work of SIX's team members is reinventing the digital economy in the creative industry to Global Shaper members from around the world.

That evening, SIX participated in LAST Night: A Fun-raising Party for our World's Endangered Species and Natural Zones. The event was attended by over 500 guests at Lhong 1919. This was the first event to accept SIX as a form of payment, resulting in over 85,000 Thai Baht raised for Last of Ours project.

Guests from over 40 countries adopted the cryptocurrency by downloading SIX wallet and spending SIX tokens on food and drinks offered at the party.

"We're extremely excited to host this event, and with the support of SIX, to show our attendees how far blockchain technology has come. We were eager to show them how easy to use the wallet was, and how fast transactions can happen. Rather than just listen to talks, it is wonderful to have them experience it in a real-life setting"?-?Arch Wongchindawest, Former Curator of Global Shaper Bangkok.

It was diverse culture mixing through communication through conversation, experiences, and dancing. SIX blockchain technology enhanced this meaningful borderless event

Through this event, SIX nurtured a futuristic experience in the decentralized market that was designed to empower individuals as well as our Global Shaper, who are all eager to build on their previous impact to further shape their local communities around the world.
